Mash Apache Derby with New OpenOffice 2.0 feature
An anonymous reader writes "Document storage is hot, hot, hot! There has been an explosion of methodologies and tool sets — both open source and proprietary — to fulfill the demand for quickly locating and searching documents. Mash Apache Derby with a new OpenOffice 2.0 feature to create a repository that lets you store, search, and extract ODF documents in a standards-based manner."
Because the SEC is hot, hot, hot on the trail of your accounting and related correspondences.
...can we stop "mashing" things. Right now.
It is a silly new word, which brings no new meaning.
There are plenty of good alternatives, technical or not -- combine, connect, link, interface, integrate, etc.
OpenOffice, Java and Derby... I hope you have 10GB of RAM to spare.

Mash Apache Derby
Don't look now, but your apachiderbis is showing...
Have you read my journal today?
I assume that this is a competing approach to the Office 2007/Sharepoint components that Microsoft has.
Well done!

... and a stupid new buzzword is stopped in it's tracks! ;)
I know it's too late, but if you have any heart at all, please do not spread this extremely annoying use of the word any further. I do not want Apache on my dinner plate, nor in any way do I want it smashed, pulverized, or otherwise rendered into unrecognizable goop like the word "mash" itself has apparently been. I've suffered through blogs and vlogs and podcasts and bennifers and brangelinas - and even Lewis Carroll would be turning in his grave at these dreadful portmanteaus which are less about expanding the language and more about general journalistic laziness. othrwse we mit as wll all uz IMspk and wrdsmsh all r communc8s 4 lezins sak k thx

I know TFA really indicates v2.0, but this "new OpenOffice 2.0" sounds strange considering OpenOffice 2.1 has been in the wild for a while.

and they've increased in number since the early '90's.
so true.
And what is even more amazing, after logging in (with bugmenot) the beginning of the article makes no mention what the special feature of OOo actually isThe go straight into installing and building a db. No mention whatsoever what the problem area is and why his solution is a good one. That combined with the silly pageturning thing made me give up reading it.
This space is intentionally staring blankly at you
When I said "public sector," I meant 'the portion of the private sector which is devoted in whole or large part to fulfilling the demands of the public, i.e. governmental, sector; in particular U.S. government contractors.' The field is dominated by a number of well-known and very large players, which compete with each other on one hand, but also seem to have certain gentlemanly agreements on the other. They are, for most intents and purposes, essentially in a grey area somewhere between temp agencies which only serve the government, and wholesale private government agencies.
Most people who haven't been involved in the Federal government don't have any idea how much of the day-to-day operations of the USG is handled by contractors; I can personally assure you that if all the contractors decided not to show up for work one day, the government would literally stop.
